Peavey 5W Valveking $99 @ Music123

Nabbed one. I bought both, the Bugera V5 ($132) and the Peavey Valve King Royal 8. I ended up trying them back to back and like different things about each so I'm keeping them both. The peavey has much more gain and is better for heavier music. I'm ordering a Jensen Mod8 speaker to get rid of the slight squawk though. I think I'll be fitting a Mod10 in the Bugerea over the winter. I love these inexpensive amps, you can afford to do some mods and still keep the price down.

Nice buy, man! IMHO, a bit more abt that Bugera would be nice. It's been mentioned alot on here, and I think some of us would be interested in your take on it. (I think the Peavey is pretty well-known as a winner, especially for the price. Such a deal!)

It's my buddy Stoneattic's fault. Lee liked the Bugera, and I liked the Peavey. We played them back to back. I'll get him to post his take. He gave me a pretty good description the day we played both. Two tube amps for $239, who could beat that with a stick. I must say the Bugera does seem to be well built, it just has a bit less gain without a pedal. There looks like enough room to put a 10" speaker in there also. I plugged my Jensen Mod10 in my Champion cabinet into the Bugera and it was quite sweet from the volumes I could get away with at work. (lunchtime)
